Introduction

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is an invaluable tool for studying the Bible. It has been available in the public domain for many years.

Original Introduction by R.A. Torrey

About twenty years ago I saw for the first time The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. I was interested in the book at once, and commenced to use it in my daily study of the Word of God. I went through book after book of the Bible, verse by verse, with the aid of "The Treasury." I found that it enabled me, better than all the commentaries, to come to a true knowledge of God's meaning.

There is no other commentary on the Bible so helpful as the Bible itself. There is not a difficult passage in the Bible that is not explained and made clear by other passages of the Bible, and this book is marvellously useful in bringing to light those other parts of the Bible that throw light upon the portion that is being studied. But not only does the book illuminate dark places, it also emphasises the truth by bringing in a multitude of witnesses. It also greatly strengthens faith for one cannot study his Bible with the aid of The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge without getting a deeper conviction of the unity of the entire Book. As he compares Scripture with Scripture and sees how what Paul says fits in to what Jesus said, and John said, and Peter said, and Isaiah said, and the Psalmist said; when he sees how every doctrine of the New Testament regarding Christ, His Divine-human nature, His holy character, His atoning death, and His resurrection, ascension , and coming again is enfolded in the types of the Pentateuch, Prophets, and Psalms, he becomes overwhelmingly convinced that the whole Bible has one real Author behind the many human authors. The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge" enables one, not only to understand the Word, but to feed upon the Word.

In preparing notes on the Sunday School lessons for publication, and notes on the various books of the Bible, I have found more help in The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge than in all other books put together. I have recommended the use of the book to many people, and in after years they have thanked me for calling their attention to this book. Their experiences with it have been similar to mine.

One great advantage of the book is its portability. One who has to travel much cannot take a large number of commentaries with him, but in The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge he will find the substance of all that is best in many commentaries. -- R.A. Torrey

The LXX. adds 100; years to each of the patriarchs Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, and Enoch, before the birth of their sons; while they take 20; from the age of Methuselah, and add 6; to that of Lamech. Thus the space from the creation to the deluge is made 2,242; years, according to the Vatican copy, but 2,262; by the Alexandrine; and the sum total by Josephus is 2,265, by the Samaritan 1,307, and the Hebrew Text, 1,656. The sum total from the Deluge to the 70th year of Terah, according to these authorities, is, Heb. 292; Sam. 942; Sept. Vat. 1,172; Alex. 1,072, and Josephus 1,002.

Babel. that is, Confusion. The tower of Babel, Herodotus informs us, was a furlong or 660 feet, in length and breadth; and, according to Strabo, it rose to the same altitude. It was of a pyramidical form, consisting of eight square towers, gradually decreasing in breadth, with a winding ascent on the outside, so very broad as to allow horses and carriages to pass each other, and even to turn. This magnificent structure is so completely destroyed that its very site is doubtful; and when supposed to be discovered, in all cases exhibiting a heap of rubbish. 10:5,10,20,31; Isa 13:1-14:32; Jer 50:1-51:64; 1Co 14:23;

Probably Haran was the eldest son of Terah, and Abram his youngest by another wife; and thus Sarai was the daughter, or grand-daughter of Terah, Abram's father, but not of his mother.

and he sat. In these verses we have a delightful picture of genuine and primitive hospitality: a venerable father sits at the tent door, not only to enjoy the current of refreshing air, but that if he saw any weary and exhausted travellers, he might invite them to rest and refresh themselves during the heat of the day, and the same custom still continues in the east. It was not the custom, nor was there any necessity, for strangers to knock at the door, or to speak first, but to stand till they were invited.

It was, therefore, not only necessary from motives of cleanliness, but also a very great refreshment, in so hot a country, to get the feet washed at the end of a day's journey; and this is the first thing that Abraham proposes. 19:2; 24:32; 43:24; 1Sa 25:41; Lu 7:44; John 13:5-15; 1Ti 5:10;

with blindness. The word {sanverim,} rendered "blindness," and which occurs only here, and in 2; Ki 6:18, is supposed to denote dazzlings, deceptions, or confusions of sight from excessive light; being derived by Schultens, who is followed by Parkhurst, from the Arabic {sana,} to pour forth, diffuse, and nor, light. Dr. Geddes, to the same purpose, thinks it is compounded of the Arabic {sana,} which signifies a flash, and or, light. The Targums, in both places where it occurs, render it by eruptions, or flashes of light, or as Mercer, in Robertson, explains the Chaldee word, irradiations. 2Ki 6:18; Ac 13:11;

From ch. 10:19, it appears to have been situated in the angle where the south and west sides of Canaan met, and to have been not far from Gaza. Jerome, in his Hebrew Traditions on Genesis, says, from Gerar to Jerusalem was three days' journey. There was a wood near Gerar, spoken of by Theodoret; and a brook, (ch. 26:26,) on which was a monastery, noticed by Sozomen. 10:19; 26:1,6,20,26; 2Ch 14:13,14;
